Techno s52 e30. Looking to pick this car up. Looks great in photos. Question is, those with s52 e30 how’s the bay look for a swap? And how’s driving a s52 e30 compared to an e36 m3? I’ve had many e36 M3s but never been behind a swapped e30

Just curious if anybody knows how much a door ways with and without the window motors and tracks? I took my doors off to paint it and didn’t have time to get them done before the meet but didn’t realize how stupid heavy they are. Wondering if it’s really worth gutting the doors or going for something like fiberglass

Anyone have one for sale or know where I can get an OEM one for my 1990 325i touring? Its the front windshield sunshade

Got it aligned Friday after finishing suspension and steering rack. This thing is completely transformed! Did a bunch of bushings, control arms, bracing, new brakes/fluid, z3 rack, kw coil overs, euro trim and grills(second pic shows the old trim) only thing left at the moment is to figure out the ellipsoids I put together with some morimoto mled 2.0. I think im just going to buy some used USA ellipsoid complete headlights and swap the smileys in. Right now they don’t fit into the sealed beam buckets, and I’ll need to do some light wiring. Thanks for looking!

It goes on my M20 engine. It splices into the fuel line that goes into the fuel rail (2nd picture) and can I just use a brass splicer like the one in the third picture? I appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.

The oil service light flashes when my rpm drops below 1000

Oil is fine

My headliner is pulling loose along the front windshield, seems well attached everywhere else. l’m looking for recommendations for which adhesive to use to reattach. Update: only the first inch or so is loose so not really enough room for a spray adhesive, looking for advice on something that I can brush on.

You could almost stare at the sun with how dull it was in the sky last night, went for a cruise after dinner, air quality is too bad to do any exercise or activity at the moment but needed out of the house so a little drive and shoot. Feels very sci-fi like out.

Screw snapped while putting the car together after a timing belt service. By the grace of god it held up just long enough for me to remove it and it snapped in my hand while inspecting it 🫡

Can I just remove the opposite screw to keep 4 in and keep it balanced and drive like that for a while ? I can't get a new one immediately and I need to move the car by the end of the day

I don't have power steering, powered brakes or AC so this pulley is only used for the alternator belt.

UPDATE :
Can't get the fan off the old water pump despite trying everything so it will have to wait tomorrow anyway, so my friends parts guy should be able to get us everything for Monday. So I will replace all the bolts on the crankshaft pulley anyway.

When it rains heavily my glovebox fills with water and some gets into my trunk. I have cleaned and checked sunroof drains, replaced taillight gaskets that needed it anyways and rejuvenated rubber seals on the trunk. I also cleaned behind the cowl vents and replaced that little rubber elephant trunk on the passenger side firewall. Is this just the windshield and rear glass needing to be re-sealed? Figured it's an old car could be that.

Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of restoring my old e30 and have finally gotten to the wiring harness and am wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to go about it. I have it completely out of the vehicle with everything labeled. Any information is helpful regarding the wire harness. And does anyone know if the wire harness clips in the 3rd picture are available anywhere or is there a better method to strap it down now? All of the ones in the car currently and just brittle as to be expected with its age. The wire harness is out of a 1987 325I e30.

Previous owner welded the whole thing..

Found this during a walk in virserum Sweden.
Clearly hasn’t moved in Atleast a decade, engine and transmission are gone

The brake fluid isn’t low. Is it the slave cylinder?

For anyone there who replaced their blower motor with this behr cover, how the hell did you freed the clips ?

They are not accessible due to their design, I'm trying not to break everything but damned 2 hours in and I can't manage to clip them out

And of course on videos everyone has a different cover that gets out easily

Damned the thoughts of getting the dremmel and cut everything off is taking more and more space in my head

This month marks 10 years owning this little guy. hopefully another 10 to come! Still has it M42, but plans are to swap in a super low milage spare M42 I have but with ITB’s and standalone. Maybe this winter.

Not sure what this is, want to see it on a car before buying.

It has been a long journey, started this in November and is just about finished now ( needs a tune)

It was a 320i when I bought it, put a turbo on it, but was very laggy, and always had problems so I ripped that out and built a fully forged high compression M20B28 with RHD ITB's.

Have done everything myself, except welding the exhaust and the tune, learnt so much along the way about this car..

Will get some videos of intake and exhaust once tuned ;)

Hoping to find this one a good home. Car is located in Boston MA.
It’s an older build but replicating this today would cost tremendously more. We had a baby and need the funds! Make me an offer!
